Life is Not All about Making Choices

When you make the right choice, it doesn’t mean you already made the right move. And when you make the right move, it doesn’t also mean you’ve already achieved the right thing.

Life is not all about making choices. It doesn’t even just about executing those choices. Life is a life itself. It exists because of all the events that are making up your life. We can neither just credit life on our choices nor on our mere doings.

The wrong decisions we’ve made and the wrong actions we’ve done in the past do not also make our lives. Failure is not absolutely final. We can still stand up and correct the rest of our lives.

Life starts from knowing, followed by realizing, then by choosing. After making a choice, it still needs to be done. And after doing it, it must also be maintained for the rest of our lives.

Life is not only what we think or what we feel. It’s not only what we choose or what we will. It is even not only what we do once in a while. But life is what we keep on doing. It is what we keep on standing and fighting. Life is what we keep on living.

That is perhaps why we are called human being… because the human life is a present tense, happening today and towards the future. We must understand that in getting the ultimate success in life, what matters is now and what you are doing today to continue tomorrow.

Therefore, if you want to live your life, don’t just make the right choice. Do your choice, keep it doing, and make sure you can still do it in the future. Choose, act, continue, and live your life!
